Play the Theremin: Theremin Emulators

Theremin Emulators

Simulate the classic theremin sound on your PC

Of course, an emulator can never come close to the real sound of the theremin, but there are some interesting programs to experiment with here. Probably the best emulator available in terms of configurability at the moment is 'Mousing', an emulator that also outputs over MIDI, and allows you perform both staggered glissando and portamento effects.

The most fun emulator is the downloadable BBC desktop theremin, a flash-powered program that allows you to add beats and instrumental loops, and has an animated Professor Theremin who moves with the music.

has the advantage of being highly configurable. You can output your
mouse movements via your soundcard's wave output for that traditional
theremin sound, or you can 'play' over MIDI, making this program a fun
alternative controller...
